Re: [CentOS] Any update on 5.6 / 6?

[aurf alien]

Great article to enlighten us all on why this round seems to be taking
longer then the previous versions.  And why in general this is a tremendous
undertaking.

You'll need to log in to read the entire article but its worth it.

Re: [CentOS] Netapp like snapshots using Centos 5/6 direct attached storage

[aurf alien]

Look into XFS+LVM.

For XFS, you'll have to yum it via;

yum install kmod-xfs xfs-progs xfs-dump

This is in the centosplus repo.

Really!?

I dunno, what you just described sounds a lot more complex then setting up
an OpenLDAP server, even with replication.

[CentOS] folder quotas

[aurf alien]

Hi all,

Is there a way to implement folder quotas instead of just partition quotas?

I'm trying to limit home dirs from getting out of control.

And I did RTFM but it seems only partition/share quotas are possible :)

Re: [CentOS] folder quotas

[aurf alien]

Hi Kwan,

Thanks for fast the reply.

Funny, I was reading that when I posted to the list.

Not really a practical solution as my needs are for user home dirs which get
automatically created when a user in created.

The solution in the link would mean that I would have to script in some
additional code that formats the users home dir as a file system, mounts it
(if I have 300 users, will I have 300 mounts?) and then exports them (will I
also have 300 exports?), and then 300 mount points on each workstation?

I really really hope Centos/RHEL has some way similar to a Winblowz GPO were
I can limit a users home folder in size.

Re: [CentOS] folder quotas

[aurf alien]

Hmmm, perhaps user quotas?

I can easily script that into any user creation process.

So I can taylor home size on a per user basis as my power users would need
more space than my standard users.

Has any one done this?

Re: [CentOS] folder quotas

[aurf alien]

Nowhere else since there home dir on the file system is the only place they
can write.

What I did in my httpd.conf file;

AuthName "Company"
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
AuthLDAPURL ldap://ldap1.company.com/ou=people,dc=company,dc=com?uid
AuthLDAPURL ldap://ldap2.company.com/ou=people,dc=company,dc=com?uid
Require valid-user

This brings up the apache dialogue window and does provide a good layer of
security as if you don't authenticate, you don't even get the URL to phish
for data.
